HUNT.
The opening meet of the Devon and
Somerset stag-hounds was attended by
an immense crowd Of people, and Mr..
Bassett of Waterworth castle. the new
master, was loudly cheered when he
arrived. The weather was perfect
and the picnic luncheons were most
enjoyable. The meet was the largest
ever known, and there must have
been nearly two hundred vehicles and
a vast cavalcade of riders, both male
and female. After several failures a
splendid stag was turned out of the
neighboring combe and he broke away
over Lee hill, where the gallop on the
heather was delightful. The short run
however, had an ignominious conclu-
sion, as the stag ran into a street of
Porlock village and took refuge in a
back yard, where he was slaughtered

child, a boy of Is, set to work at once to try
and carry on the farm, and, according to
local newspaper, he has succeeded remark
ably well. He has plowed the fields sowed,
cultivated and reaped; he has had sole
charge of large number of cattle and horses
on the farm; he has managed a retail milk
business, and has himself marketed all of the
farm products. Last summer he found time
after his work in the fields to paint the house
twice over and to build five new fences In

work about the farm, but teaches a country
school three miles away, fells timber in the

the enthusiasm and vim which he displayed
in conducting the army of musicians at the
Jubilee concerts given at the Coliseum on the
Back bay. One evening, while conducting
the combined bands in giving the overture to
"Wilham Tell,n he became so inspired with
the glorious music that he was almost frantic,
and when the grand climax at the termina-
tion of the piece was reached he continued
after the playing had ceased to beat time
with his head, arms and baton for full
minute, to the good natured amusement of
the audience and orchestra. 1t reminded

photographing the Chinese D1;n,ster

Mr.. Chang Yen Hoon, Chinese minister,
sat for his photograph in Washington recent
ly. His servants carried up to the photog-
rapher's room two or three trunks and several
smaller cases, in which were ten or dozen
changes Of costume. The minister was "done"
in each of these and in as many different
positions He wore a silk cap, in the center
of which was a large diamond, about the size
of a hazelnut The cap fitted so closely that
the diamond looked like a huge star set in his
skull. From the cap floated q long peacock
feather. Around his neck was necklace of
three chains, each of which was about yard
long, composed of precious stones, every sixth
of which was diamond. His interpreter,
one of the party, said the aggregate value Of
the jewels was about a million of dollars.
The different costumes were composed of the
richest silks and satins, embroidered with
solid gold and trimmed with richest furs-

Who Are the Twelve Living Creates

Who Are the Twelve Living Greatest
Men to lie Found in the World?
Our esteemed contemporary, The Albany
Argus, has been carrying on an election to
determine after the manner OF certain Eng
lish examples, who are the twelve greatest
living men, OF twelve living greatest men.
The vote cast was pretty small, Albany being
too familiar with great men to take any
special interest in the subject. The result of
the election, however, is rather interesting.
Bismarck stands at the head of the list, with
sixteen votes, beating Mr.. Gladstone by one
vote. Ferdinand de Lesseps has fourteen.
Mr.. Conkling and Mr.. ParneH tie with nine.
Grover Cleveland and Henry NJ. Stanley have
seven each. George Bancroft, Won Moltke
and Leo XIII come next, with six each. Al
len Granbery Thurman and w. Tecumseh
Sherman get five. Mr.. Jay Gould, the Hon.
George f. Edmunds, James G.. Blaine and
Gen. Boulanger make up big four.
The Hon. David Bennett ELL is in the
threes with three of the greatest and one of
the best advertised men living. His associ-
ates are Cardinal Manning, Herbert Spencer,
John Ruskin and NJ Bartholdi.
But the list of men who get one vote is the
most interesting and the funniest. 1t shows,
| too, how even mighty men are shabbily
treated by fame Hereis the list of ones:
Daniel Manning, John Sherman, James
Gordon Bennett, John 6. Whittier, Cardinal
Newman, Henry George, William III. Evarts,
Gen. Sheridan, Abram S. Hewitt, Cyrus w.
| Field, Lawson TAFT, James Russell Lowell,
John l.. Sullivan. Jefferson Davis, L. De Witt

McCosh. Joseph Pulitzer, Daniel W. Voor-
hees, Herr Krupp, Francis Herman, G. l.
Tucker, Mark Hopkins, Meissonier, A. G.
Colvin, Castelar,"
Some names in this list are dear as well as
famous, and some are obscure On the
whole, it is impossible to praise the discrim-
ination of the Albany special voters.-New

n new NhNieabie River In Africa.
The report published by Lieut.. Won
Nimptsch, of the German army, son-in-
law of Gen. Won Loe, aide-de-camp to
the emperor, gives some very interesting
details Of the journey which he made
with Herr Wolff, a traveller in the serv-
ice Of the Congo Free State, and which
has resulted in the discovery of river
likely to be of material value to traders
with the Congo.
The Congo in its course from the
southeast, makes p very wide bend TO
the north, and then descends again to
Atlantic, a very large tract of country be-
ing embraced in this curve. Within TINS
curve is the river Kassai, which Lieut..
Won Nimptsch regards rs being "of even
greater Importance to commerce than
the Congo ITSELF" Describing their
journey, he says that as far as Luebu,
the Kassai flows through wide plains
well adapted for cultivation, pasturage,
and forests of palm trees and gutta-
percha trees. There are many villages
on the banks, and the travellers met with
great civility in all OF them save one,
the inhabitants of which fed at their
approach. One tribe, adds Lieut.. Won
Nimptsch, "was remarkable for its
joviality. The natives accom-
panied the steamer in their ca
noes, and when we landed, organ
lied dances and songs in our honor"
There is great deal Of ivory all
along the Kassai, and large pieces OF
the finest quality We're readily given in
exchange for empty boxes and tins.
They discovered several ailluents of the
Ksssai, and they calculated that they
were navigable for distance of 25c
miles "But the most important aiflu-
ent," the report goes on to say, lis that
which Herr Wolf explored in tho
steamer Vorwarts during the months OF
February and March. He assembled this
stream to distance of 430 leagues from
its mouth, and one of its northern affiu-
ents brought him to within weeks
march of Nyangoue. He might have
gone still further had his steamer not
met with an accident, for there are no
cateracts in this river. All this network
of navigable water, more than 5000
miles, is most admirable, and in future
it will be possible to travel eastward
from the Atlantic, reaching Nyangoue
and then Lake Tangyutcka by leaving
the Congo at the mouth of the Kassai,
without being obliged to ascend the
whole of the former stream, thus avoid
ing the Stanley falls"
